Why You Should Fly Your Photographer Out for Your Engagement Session
Engagement photos are more than just a tradition—they’re a chance to capture the essence of your love story in a setting that feels uniquely you. When Coral and Spencer reached out for their engagement session in Denver, Colorado, they wanted a romantic, cozy coffee shop vibe—something intimate, warm, and true to their love story. With snow falling outside and the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee surrounding them, we created a gallery that felt cinematic, timeless, and uniquely personal.
As a wedding photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona, capturing love stories in the snow was a refreshing change from the sun-drenched desert landscapes I typically shoot. But more than that, flying your photographer out to your dream location has so many benefits for engaged couples looking to make their engagement session extra special.
A Photographer Who Knows You and Your Vision
When you choose a local photographer for your wedding, they get to know your personality, style, and preferences. Bringing them along for your engagement session ensures consistency in your overall photography experience—your wedding and engagement photos will feel cohesive, polished, and truly you. Coral and Spencer trusted me with their vision, and because I already understood their style, we were able to create engagement photos that complemented their wedding aesthetic.
A Destination That Feels Special to You
Your engagement session should be meaningful. Whether it’s your hometown, a place where you first met, or a setting that reflects your favorite date nights, choosing a location that resonates with your love story makes the experience even more memorable. For Coral and Spencer, Denver’s cozy coffee shops, snowy streets, and historic charm provided the perfect atmosphere for their love to shine.
A Unique Backdrop for Your Engagement Photos
Most couples in Arizona opt for desert landscapes and warm golden light, but traveling to a snowy city like Denver added a completely different mood. The contrast of falling snow, twinkling café lights, and the warmth of an intimate indoor space created breathtaking, romantic images. If you’re considering flying out your photographer, think about a location that contrasts with your wedding setting to add variety to your final gallery.
A Fun, Memorable Experience
Your engagement session isn’t just about the photos—it’s about the experience. Flying your photographer out turns your session into a mini destination adventure! Coral and Spencer spent the afternoon laughing over lattes, strolling through Denver’s snowy streets, and making memories that felt effortless and fun. The session became more than just a photo shoot—it was a romantic date captured in real-time. Afterwards, we all went to dinner together to get to know each other even more!
A Photographer Who Prioritizes You
When you bring your own photographer, you get personalized attention without the rush of back-to-back local sessions. We worked together finding the best spots, understanding the lighting, and curating a seamless experience for Coral and Spencer. Unlike booking a new photographer in an unfamiliar city, they had complete confidence knowing their vision was in the hands of someone they trusted.
Make Your Engagement Session One to Remember
Flying out your photographer might seem like an extra step, but if you value connection, creativity, and a personalized experience, it’s absolutely worth it. Coral and Spencer’s cozy, romantic Denver engagement session was a perfect reflection of their love story, made even more special by the location they chose.
